The black and white gen on the reps may be fine. As I mentioned the rep case colours aren’t an exact match for gen so if you get a gen blue strap for example, you may find it doesn’t match the blue accents on the rep watch and same for the red / yellow etc. I compared my dark blue rep to the gen at the AD and the blue is different both in the strap and the accents in the watch.

I agree with this assessment . I purchased one of these in M2M it's the best most gen like replica i have purchased IMHO. You can keep your VSF that , your CF this etc .I love the gen watch but wouldn't pay £2.5 k ( in UK) for a quartz watch .It also has EXACTLY the same movement as the gen , so sets the same with spinning chronos . The main chrono hand sets at 12 , the sub dials all work perfectly , and it keeps amazing time . I wore mine for a month while away from home and it didn't lose a second
Same movement? So you are saying reps have thermo-compensated Breitling B82 Super Quartz movement?
I think he means in terms of function… the rep movement has the identical layout and hand functionality in the way it operates , it even has the same gear slack on the main chrono hand which makes it move slightly when reset. Rep definitely does not have the same quality Thermo compensated movement and even the carbon case construction pattern is slightly different. The colours are also slightly different shades. I do agree however that it is definitely a NWBIG rep… no doubt and the best thing is that the rep quartz movement is actually very accurate. I’ve had mine for quite some time now and it will stay within +- 2 secs per month. Basically just set and forget , it’s as good as my Tissot PRC200 quartz which is very good.
That's in your head. Luxury super quartz under 3k is great price. Folks overthink just the movement is the point of a watch. Take for example - Grand Seiko. Quartz for 3k and automatic for 4k. That automatic movement wouldn't be over 200-300, rest is all same. You can't suddenly expect quartz to be 1000 when it has same finishing and details except the movements. Similarly, Endurance Pro is better than generic Breitling Superoceans and priced lower them.
And that is the beauty of life, different opinions. You may have had the sub side by side and thought it was the same.
It’s actually a very well made carbon / composite polymer case on the rep. Considering that it’s only slightly more expensive as an outlay to the Swatch Moonswatch, the endurance pro rep is still an astute purchase.
No i didn't say that ! The 'Breitling B82 SUPER QUARTZ ' isn't an in house movement .It is an ETA 251.232 movement that Breitling have zuzzed up . I was told by a TD that the rep has a real Swiss ETA.251.232 ,the base unit Breitling use in the gen watch .The 251.232 is a superquartz/chronograph / thermoline movement .Sounds fancy ,but could be sourced in bulk at a cost cheap enough to throw in a plastic /rubber replica . I haven't taken the caseback off to check but the functions work perfectly on mine , and reset just as genuine watch .The watch also keeps amazing time.I rotate my watch wear a lot, sometimes depending on what i'm doing swapping watches more than once a day. I have though worn this watch for a month continuously and it didn't lose a second .

Tbf that isn't the movement that the TD told me is in the watch .He told me it was 251.232 superquartz .However that is a genuine Swiss made ETA10.212 quartz chronograph movement .The movement that Breitling use/have used in many quartz watches .They fart about with it , and give it a Breitling calibre designation .Lots of us have been talking about and detailing this watch for quite some time now.
Here is the OG thread with lots of info :
New Breitlings- Endurance Pro series
white is updated to black. They have old pics i guess. I made a Video for the functions. https://streamable.com/4kad07 :) So this is good news ... :thumbsup: Thanks to you.
In terms of the movement in the rep, it’s a 1:1 ETA quartz - same base unit as the gen without the added supercharging that Breitling ask for.
See pic of the rep movement below - courtesy of Robse1. As mentioned several times, this rep is NWBIG and a great pick up for those who like these Breitling watches.
I bought the strap and deployant on Ali. The quality is OK. I use the black and white as a "Beater".
Any dealer can get them if you ask. @$430USD + shipping is the going rate.
